Find a way to link your PC across rooms.
You’re starting out in networking and need to keep up with gaming. The rental doesn’t have a cat6 port, your PC uses a cable connection and lacks Wi-Fi, so you’ll want to figure out how to link your modem or router to your computer without needing a long cable throughout the house. Consider options like using an Ethernet adapter or checking if your router supports powerline adaptation for better coverage.
With an available PCI-E port on your motherboard, you can purchase a PCI-E Wi-Fi adapter without needing to replace the board itself
There are several options available, such as a basic USB adapter that offers various rates and dimensions, or a WNIC card which tends to cost more.
You can always purchase a lengthy network cable and hide it behind furniture or along baseboards. Ethernet works well for up to 300 feet of connection between devices. USB WiFi adapters, powerline adapters, and Wifi-to-Ethernet bridges are also suitable choices.
